CALVAGH O'DONNELL (d. 1566), eldest son of Manus O'Donnell, in the course of his above-mentioned See also:quarrel with his See also:father and his See also:half-See also:brother See also:Hugh, sought aid in See also:Scotland from the MacDonnells, who assisted him in deposing Manus and securing the lordship of Tyrconnel for himself. Hugh then appealedto See also:Shane O'Neil., who invaded Tyrconnel at the See also:head of a large See also:army in 1557, desiring to make himself supreme throughout. See also:Ulster, and encamped on the See also:shore of Lough Swilly. Calvagh, acting apparently on the See also:advice of his father, who was his prisoner and who remembered the successful See also:night attack on See also:Conn O'See also:Neill at Knockavoe in 1522, surprised the O'Neills in their See also:camp at night and routed them with the loss of all their spoils. Calvagh was then recognized by the See also:English See also:government as See also:lord of Tyrconnel; but in 1561 he and his wife were captured by Shane O'Neill in the monastery of Kildonnell. His wife, See also:Catherine Maclean, who had previously been the wife of the See also:earl of See also:Argyll, was kept by Shane O'Neill as his See also:mistress and See also:bore him several See also:children, though grossly See also:ill-treated by her See also:savage captor; Calvagh himself was subjected to atrocious See also:torture during the three years that he remained O'Neill's prisoner. He was released in 1564 on conditions which he had no intention of fulfilling; and See also:crossing to See also:England he threw himself on the See also:mercy of See also:Queen See also:Elizabeth.

Henry See also:Sidney by the queen's orders marched to Tyrconnel and restored Calvagh to his rights. Calvagh, however, died in the same See also:year, and as his son Conn was a prisoner in the hands of Shane O'Neill, his half-brother Hugh MacManus was inaugurated The O'Donnell in his See also:place. Hugh, who in the See also:family See also:feud with Calvagh had allied himself with O'Neill, now turned See also:round and combined with the English to crush the hereditary enemy of his family; and in 1567 he utterly routed Shane at See also:Letterkenny with the loss of 1300 men, compelling him to seek See also:refuge with the Mac-Donnells of See also:Antrim, by whom he was treacherously put to See also:death. In 1592 Hugh abdicated in favour of his son Hugh See also:Roe O'Donnell (see below); but there was a member of the See also:elder See also:branch of the family who resented the passing of the chieftainship to the descendants of Manus O'Donnell's second See also:marriage. This was Niall Garve, second son of Calvagh's son Conn.. His elder brother was Hugh of Ramelton, whose son See also:John, an officer in the See also:Spanish army, was father of Hugh Baldearg O'Donnell (d. 1704), known in See also:Spain as See also:Count O'Donnell, who commanded an Irish See also:regiment as brigadier in the Spanish service.
